2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.

  • 1.63636363637 can be written as an improper fraction.

  • The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 1.63636363637


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 5

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 105 = 100,000


y = 1.63636363637

100,000 × y = 100,000 × 1.63636363637

100,000 × y = 163,636.363637

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

100,000 × y = 163,636.36363763637

Note: 163,636.36363763637 = 163,636.363637


Subtract the first equation from the second one.

  • Having the same number of decimal places ...
  • The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.

100,000 × y - y = 163,636.36363763637 - 1.63636363637 ⇒

(100,000 - 1) × y = 163,636.36363763637 - 1.63636363637 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

99,999 × y = 163,634.727274


Solve for y in the new equation.

99,999 × y = 163,634.727274 ⇒

y = 163,634.727274/99,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 1.63636363637

According to our calculations:

y = 163,634.727274/99,999

⇒ 1.63636363637 = 163,634.727274/99,999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 1,000,000.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

1.63636363637 = (163,634.727274 × 1,000,000)/(99,999 × 1,000,000)

1.63636363637 = 163,634,727,274/99,999,000,000
